Frequently asked questions about this product

What battery life is quoted for the Sony WH-1000XM4?
Up to 30 hours with noise cancelling on — so the figure already includes its condition. And if you are short on time, 10 minutes of charging gives you 5 hours of listening.
What is the Quick Attention feature?
Placing your hand over the right ear cup lowers the volume and lets outside sounds in, long enough to exchange a few words or hear an announcement. Take your hand away and the music comes back: nothing to adjust, nothing to take off.
Does the music stop when you start speaking?
Yes, that is the Speak-to-Chat feature: the headphones recognise your voice, pause playback and let ambient sound back in. The music then resumes on its own, without you having to do anything.
What does the QN1 processor in these headphones do?
It drives the active noise cancelling: it is Sony's HD processor dedicated to that task. The Ambient Sound mode is also adjustable, so you can control how much outside sound you let through.
Does playback pause when you take the headphones off?
Yes, wear detection stops the music as soon as the headphones leave your head and restarts it when you put them back on. That way you do not lose track of a podcast, and you save battery without thinking about it.
Can the headphones stay connected to two devices?
Yes, multipoint connection keeps two devices paired at the same time — your computer and your phone, for example. A built-in microphone also handles hands-free calls.
What does DSEE Extreme technology do to a compressed file?
It restores the high frequencies lost to compression in real time, on 40 mm drivers. Streaming and compressed files gain detail, with no setting to adjust.
What is in the box with the WH-1000XM4?
A carrying case and a jack cable, in addition to the headphones. The cable lets you listen with a flat battery or connect to a source without Bluetooth, such as an in-flight entertainment system.
Do these headphones fold for transport?
Yes, they are foldable and their case is included. The design is over-ear: the cushions enclose the ear, adding passive isolation to the active noise cancelling.
Are the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones new and under warranty?
Yes, new and genuine, with a 1-year warranty, the invoice serving as the warranty document. Keep it: it is all you need for any workshop repair.
